i was thinking about putting a switch in my car so i could turn off vtec. i would splice the wire going to or from the ecu, so vtec would not activate. the only reason is because my RPM is pretty high when im cruising down the freeway at 80-85 mph, and i am pretty sure that i am close to the vtec point (no tach so i am not totally sure). would you think there would be any side effects to turning off vtec?

 

yea, ud most likely throw a CEL and the engine would go into "limp" mode...

 

i figured on the CEL, but what do ou mean by "limp mode?"

 

Limp mode is get you home mode. Car runs like crap and not at full potential until the ECU is reset.

Berz out.

 

If you really wanna turn the VTEC off, just get a VTEC controller, and make VTEC kick in at 10K........

 

that costs money, but it would work the best i guess.

 

Right, Guarenteed NO CEL

 

or just swap the car to non-vtec

 

swap to a non-vtec? that sounds funny hahah

Going at 80-85 mph on freeway my RPM is at 3K
Mine is an auto transmission (sucks)

 

but vtec controller would be the best for ya
